Sharing my thoughts that i wrote a year ago for WordPress. Would love to hear your opinion. :) :) A bit too long, i know. ;) :P I went for a small trip to Goa- just to relax with my family. There, I saw many different couples. Some were happily chatting, some were silently sitting with each other, and some were visibly in a bad mood. So I got busy reading their behaviors (yeah, it’s a bit of a hobby of mine). My observations lead me to think about marriages. Many marry out of love, and some, out of necessity. Some people marry just because you should get married- maybe at a certain age. Why must one get married? It’s because no one wants to be alone. Loneliness is the very sad state no one wants to be in. But I have a question for you- do you think that, after marriage, you will never feel lonely? I know, one gets all busy with the new relationship, and doesn’t get much time to be lonely. But the question remains- are you satisfied? Don’t you ever get lonely? There are many who don’t- they are sincerely happy, and feel content. But there are some that are faking it just for the sake of society. I don’t know much about other countries, but in India, most marriages are arranged ones where parents do all the talking. Sometimes, you actually meet your life partner only afterwards! It’s really funny to think about how, when you’re a child, you’re told not to talk to strangers, and one fine day you are married off to one! And then, you’re supposed to spend your whole life together, believing in happily ever after. Life is funny that way. It gets you into so many different places and situations, and then it wants you to cope with it. A couple should be compatible, or at the very least, should understand each other’s views. It’s essential if they are to live together. There is also the basic ‘adjustment’. In most such marriages, it works. Even if you are both not compatible with each other, you can still adjust. In reality one can’t select relatives like parents or siblings, and so, not all our relationships are by choice. But we still try to work it out. To actually live together, in harmony, you should try to respect each other. It’s nice to have expectations, but don’t expect too much. Maybe, this mutual understanding will someday, gradually, change to care, and then love. If we are living together, we shouldn’t overwhelm each other with our own demands and needs. A husband and wife should both respect each other’s qualities and freedom and not choke the other with high expectations. Both of a pair should have their own personal set of friends with whom they can unwind, so as to continue afresh with their lives each day. Every relationship is precious, and we should try to love and protect them with a true smile on our face. :) ;)
